My family and I chose Canada for its promise: a strong, stable, fair, and welcoming country. That promise is worth protecting. On June 23, vote for healthcare, affordability, and a future we can be proud of. #VoteforBetter #BetterisPossible #abpoli #abelxn youtu.be/0_l6tWEDyCY

Pride is a time to celebrate love, community, and the progress we’ve fought for—but it’s also a reminder that the fight isn’t over. We see you, we value you, and we’ll never stop fighting for a future where everyone can thrive and live a life of dignity. Happy Pride, Alberta! 🌈 🧡

Danielle Smith isn’t just picking fights with Ottawa; she’s threatening Alberta’s future. If she wants a referendum on separation, bring it on. Albertans will defeat it. youtube.com/shorts/Exptw...

Everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home. But under Danielle Smith and the UCP, that goal is slipping further out of reach: Alberta now has the worst housing affordability in the country. We can change that. 🔽 /1

“Alberta’s renewables sector has gone from leading the country to cancelled projects and lost investment. …[unlike] global trends & other Canadian jurisdictions, which continue to gain momentum.” “"No other industry sectors have been subjected to such onerous rules,"“ #abpoli

🚨 UPDATE: Alberta’s Auditor General warns that the UCP government's questioning of former AHS CEO could undermine his investigation into corruption and interference. Albertans deserve accountability, not cover-ups. 📲 Remind them by visiting corruptcare.ca /1

Danielle Smith is willing to create chaos & division, gamble with our economy, scare off investment & spend millions of tax dollars stoking separation… …all for the sake of her personal political support amongst a small minority of Albertans. For her, not for you. #BetterIsPossible #abpoli

Had an amazing time on Saturday walking in the Rainmaker Rodeo parade with @marierenaud.bsky.social & fellow Alberta New Democrat MLAs. Was wonderful to see so many out to enjoy the show on a beautiful day & how much St. Albert loves Marie! Thanks to Marie & her team for organizing #ableg

It makes sense that the UCP has taken its own platform off its website. They're not following it anymore, deferring instead to red state Republican playbooks. Book bans are only the most recent in a series of ideas they've adopted to Americanize Alberta. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

An update on Min. Mike Ellis’ ongoing interference in the YEG Police Commission. Despite being cleared & welcomed by the EPC, Renee Vaugeois has resigned citing “letters coming from the minister” suggesting opposition would continue. The UCP are obsessed with power & control. Part 1/2 #abpoli

This is deeply concerning. Despite being cleared to serve by the commission itself, Renee's resigning due to what has the appearance of ongoing harassment & interference from Public Safety Minister Ellis' office. What does this say to others who might be open to serve? #abpoli

A competent, ethical government would be focused on bringing costs down so working Albertans can afford to eat. Danielle Smith & the UCP are focused on stoking separation, hoarding power for themselves & corrupt contracts giving public $ to their friends & supporters. Better is possible. #ableg

The extent of the UCP #CorruptCare scandal allegations never ceases to amaze me. This latest revelation shows that the scandal goes far beyond what AHS officials knew, what bloated contracts this government negotiated, and what bad deals they signed. Premier, call a public inquiry. Immediately.

Danielle Smith said the quiet part out loud: She is putting our country at risk because she is chasing clout with extremists to stay in power. Albertans deserve so much better than this selfish, separatist, power-hungry Premier. youtu.be/W7KWHqcw9p4

A powerful & historic moment yesterday as First Nations Chiefs, leaders & community members from across Alberta gathered at the Legislature to demand respect for treaty rights. They were clear - Bill 54 is a violation of treaty because any vote on separation from Canada breaks treaty. #abpoli

It was a tough spring session. UCP had a mountain of bad bills to make things better for themselves but worse for Albertans. But our team stood strong. We called out corruption, stood up for Albertans & put up proposals to make things better. We fought for you & we’ll keep fighting. #ableg

In the dead of night, the UCP passed the most comprehensive set of anti democratic reforms in Alberta history. No public consultation. No meaningful debate. How bad is Bill 54? Not horrible if you like Trump-style democracy. open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...
